OSM Highway Density Statistics

When the Routino database has been generated from the OSM data it contains a lot of information about the highways in the OSM data that can be examined.

It is important to note however that the statistics generated from the Routino database refer only to routable highways (i.e. public access) and also merge some types of highway together as described in the Routino tagging rules.

The map statistics are all presented here in the same format. For each one a map is drawn that shows the highway density (measured in metres of highway per square kilometre) within each zoom 13 map tile by colour coding. The full size images (and the quarter size images that link to them below) are created automatically each week from the Routino routing database.

Highway Types

There are 13 types of highway that are handled by Routino and one map has been generated for each of them.

Highway Density for Different Highway Types
Highway = Motorway	Highway = Trunk	Highway = Primary
Highway = Secondary	Highway = Tertiary	Highway = Unclassified
Highway = Residential	Highway = Service	Highway = Track
Highway = Cycleway	Highway = Path	Highway = Steps
Highway = Ferry

Highway Speed Limits

The highways that are handled by Routino can have speed limits defined and one map has been generated for each of the common UK speed limits.

Highway Density for Different Highway Speed Limits
Speed Limit = 20mph	Speed Limit = 30mph	Speed Limit = 40mph
Speed Limit = 50mph	Speed Limit = 60mph	Speed Limit = 70mph

Highway Properties

There are 7 types of highway property that are handled by Routino and one map has been generated for each of them.

Highway Density for Different Highway Properties
Property = Paved	Property = Multilane	Property = Bridge
Property = Tunnel	Property = Foot-Route	Property = Bicycle-Route
Property = Oneway	Property = Cycle-Both-Ways

Transport Types

There are 10 modes of transport that are handled by Routino and one map has been generated for each of them.

Highway Density for Different Allowed Transport Types
Transport = Foot	Transport = Horse	Transport = Wheelchair
Transport = Bicycle	Transport = Moped	Transport = Motorcycle
Transport = Motorcar	Transport = Goods	Transport = HGV
Transport = PSV
